Yeah, I don't think I'm ready to throw Nelson under the bus just yet...what if the stuff being put out by DAYS is a smoke screen? Yeah Higley's here, for now.....I'm willing to give this a little time to see what happens |

I still don't understand what Nelson meant by heartbreaking. If Ed Scott has been throwing her storylines and scripts in the trash and letting the actors make it up as they go along, that behavior really is pretty crappy and deserves to be blasted in public and brought to the WGA's attention. That would mean Dena has not been given a fair shake, or at least she hasn't been able to bomb out all on her own. But "heartbreaking"? I don't get that. |

Even if Higley is staying for now, I don't see how it can last long. From her blog, it sounds like she lives a very stressful life; how can she manage her family if her workplace is such chaos? I think she should just focus on her family and walk away. Then the entire cast can become WGA members and write their own show. |

I agree with Steve. Don't shoot the messehger. Nelson is just doing his job. I, too, love the scandal. Everyone is backstabbing each other for power and God knows who sleeping with who!!! Damm, I miss ONE DAY at the DR and I've got over a hundred pages to read!!! Can someone send me a PM and bring up to speed on this situation?! Thanks In Advance!!!! |

Maybe he knew there was a distinct possibility that Higley wouldn't be leaving after all and that's what the "heartbreaking" was referring to? |

Kenny is right. Nelson is just the only one who reported it. Just like many of us who hear rumors from time to time from sources, sometimes things change and Nelson did report that Corday wanted her back. It's not like he made it sound like Higley leaving was a sure bet. I've seen Nelson lurking and his hands are probably tied. He tends to clarify when he can and I'm sure he is posting more at Goldderby because it's not as active there. I also think Higley will still be gone eventually. I've been saying all along she will be gone by September and with the ratings I still believe that, even with the promising upcoming spoilers. Things may be "business as usual" right now but Days tried that same shit in 2006 when JER was fired and Hogan was hired. We heard nothing from them but info was all over the net. Just because SOD said it doesn't mean this is 100%. SOD bows to the networks and the soaps. It wouldn't report something until they are 100% sure the show won't penalize them for it (as in losing access to spoilers and such). Even if Dena is back, one more incident could be the end for her. She clearly has a short fuse and I just don't see everything being completely harmonious after all this. It will still linger and the it will explode again eventually. I still think this is far from over. I think what we have now is a stalemate or lull. Things will play out slowly from here on in I think. |

Nelson and I do too think that it is heartbreaking that a man who should have known better would have done this when he should have known better. It is heartbreaking for Ed's career if it is true. It is heartbreaking for Days. And it is heartbreaking taht because of it Days will have a hard time getting rid of Dena now due to how this was done. |

Nelson like Rick said posted earlier here today and has posted some at Golderbby today. Nelson loves the DR but he also posts over there too. I think he gets attacked more over here than he does at Golderbby. :lol: |

Shelley also has a long history with GH, she started there as an associate director in 1979. When Corday and Langan fired her in 1992, she came back to GH and worked under Wendy Riche as a producer, she stayed there until 2001, when Jill Farren Phelps came in and fired her. Marty Davich also defected to GH and now does music for AMC (thanks to Julie Hannan Carruthers' time at GH knowing him). Corday and Langan fired a lot of talent from DAYS in the early 90's and a lot of those people went to GH during it's creative and Emmy renaissance. Shelley hasn't directed for AMC since December 2007 though. I've always thought she would make a wonderful EP of any soap, she knows the business and what makes soap operas work. It's s shame she isn't producing some soap. Edited by Y&RWorldTurner, Jul 29 2008, 09:34 PM.

They did when Reilly first left. I think among those of the online crew the news of Reilly's leaving really helped the atmosphere too. It was an upbeat time to be a Days fan - plus that summer was great. It hasn't been a good thing to be a Days fan (at least not for me anyway) since that summer. |

The credits I saw listed her as a Producer on AMC that day. But I never saw her in the credits again. That was sometime around the Angie & Jesse wedding. |

You know, I said when I heard that Joe Mascolo was returning that it wouldn't be long until Dena got the boot. Even if Corday is begging her to stay today, he can knife her in the back next week. Joe certainly wasn't a fan after she left him in a coma for all these months and decided not to write for him. I wonder if Dena knows he's coming back yet, because it's only a few days away. Maybe Ed Scott and his pet penned Stefano's return? "Shhh. Joe Mascolo is pissed and said so in public. We're going to bring him back. Shhh. Don't anyone tell Dena." Who knows what's going on anymore? :-) |

If Nelson didn't have the sources to back his scoop up he would have never posted it. Does anyone really think he would sabatoge his career just to post a false scoop? Come on, give the man more credit than that! He has already stated that he has multiple sources and cannot reveal them all or he could blow people's cover. When news breaks he will post it just like he has been doing for the last 6 months. Edited by Rick, Jul 29 2008, 09:37 PM.
